b) Refund for Surrender cases will be processed within 15 working days after the completion of COMEDK Counselling

45. GENERAL RULES
a) COMEDK’s responsibility is only to ensure fair and transparent evaluation of merit followed by
single window counseling. Issues and grievances, if any, subsequent to the selection of seats is the
responsibility of the concerned college to which the candidate is allotted and the regulatory
agencies.
b) COMEDK having thus become ‘functus officio’ does not take any responsibility with regard to
admission, return of originals etc. when once it forwards the final list of candidates based on
entrance test followed by single window centralized counseling and as such the candidates and
others cannot subsequently set up any grievance against COMEDK.
c) After the final round of Counseling, the list of selected candidates would be sent to all the
regulatory authorities of the Government and the Colleges concerned besides sending it to the
Hon’ble Admission Overseeing Committee.
46. CONSEQUENCES OF MALPRACTICES
a) COMED-K recognizes that the examination/counseling related malpractice is a social evil that can
damage society to the extent of possibly leading to a failed State. We believe that there is a chain
effect of such malpractices on the educational system and the society as a whole. It is only the
candidates who have studied very hard for the entrance test, and no one else and certainly not
the touts and agents, who would face the adverse consequences leading to their professional life
becoming totally miserable. The parents and the candidates are therefore advised to be extremely
careful.
b) COMEDK does not have any agents, liaison, admission offices, representatives or any other office/s
other than the office mentioned in the website. The parents/ candidates are requested not to
depend upon or deal with any person or organization/s claiming to be associated with the COMEDK
activities or claiming to help with admissions. COMEDK will not be responsible for the same.
www.comedk.org is the only official website of the Consortium. COMEDK is not responsible for
information available on other websites or elsewhere. COMEDK will not be responsible if any other
agency claims to be a consortium of professional institutions and uses similar sounding names and
logos. COMEDK will not be liable for any loss or damage that may be suffered or incurred directly
or indirectly in this regard.
c) COMEDK considers the following as some of the illustrations (not necessarily exhaustive) of
malpractices:
i. Impersonation;
ii. Candidates found entertaining touts and agents

47. LEGAL JURISDICTION AND MISCELLANEOUS
a) Any dispute that may arise in respect of the seat selection process and admission including the payment
of fees is subject to the jurisdiction of the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka. Also, Language of
communication, oral or written, must be only in English or Kannada.
